How many ekg and cardiovascular questions are on the CCMA exam?

6. NHA states an item count for every area of the plan and never states a percentage, so 6 is the document's own figure — 6 of the 150 scored questions — and not a share this site worked out. The full-length test deals exactly that many from this area.

Is this section timed?

Not on this page. These sets are for learning the material — each answer comes with an explanation straight away. When you want the whole paper, the full-length test runs the published clock. The real sitting is 150 questions in 180 minutes.

Are these real questions from the test?

No. Every question here is original, written to the published format. The real item banks are confidential and nobody outside the publisher has them.

What this type asks

Six items, slightly fewer than on the old plan. Small, but the domain where scope of practice is sharpest: the examination expects you to obtain a technically clean tracing and to recognise when it is not clean, and it does not expect — or permit — you to diagnose from it.

Lead placement and patient preparationRecognising artefact and correcting its causeEquipment handling and maintenanceRecognising findings that require immediate escalationScope of practice in interpretation

Now do it with the clock running.
